You won't be able to put Conviction down
It is clear from the very start of Denise Mina’s Conviction quite
how much fun she – and her readers – are about to have… Mina is
such a classy writer and Anna is a darkly brilliant creation
*Observer*
Deeply unsettling and thought provoking in all the best ways
*Big Issue*
The Long Drop is an exceptional book. The pages reek of fifties
Glasgow, forming an oppressive backdrop to a true crime story that
fascinates and appals from start to finish. Mina’s prose cuts to
the bone, laying bare the prideful wickedness of men in a tale that
is as often touching as it is frightening. A feast of a crime
novel.
*Stuart Neville*
A twisting, darkly comic, thrill-a-minute ride across Europe. If
you loved Killing Eve, you'll devour Conviction
A mischievous sense of fun exists alongside a capacity to generate
genuine edge-of-your-seat thrills and some thought-provoking
moments. You won’t have more fun with a book this year
*Sunday Express*
The Long Drop is a fascinating, quietly insidious work, unsettling
but absorbing
*The Times*
Gripping, intricate and wonderfully twisty . . . Superb
It is a beautifully written book, a masterpiece by the woman who
may be Britain’s finest living crime novelist
*Daily Telegraph*
Denise Mina brilliantly manages to be funny, heart-wrenching,
gut-punching and addictive all at once: a fabulous, captivating
novel
The Long Drop is not just a success and a thrilling read in its own
right, but a game-changer for the genre.
